Game|Life Podcast Goes to Infinity and Beyond

Podcast time! On today’s episode of the Game|Life podcast, Wired senior editor Peter Rubin joins me to tackle topics on both ends of the levity meter. First, we pick apart Disney’s plans to get into the toys-come-to-life genre of videogames, invented and currently owned by Skylanders. Disney Infinity is a complex product, and we do our best to break down every facet of it.

Then we switch gears and discuss the Obama administration’s proposals to have the Centers for Disease Control study “the relationship between videogames and violence.” No, no, don’t worry, we don’t go shooting off at the mouth about gun control or anything like that; we keep the discussion confined to the narrow topic of studies of games that depict violence.
